Default Front window trim

Howdy again,
I will be using Geoff's headliner which finishes off the rear windows nicely, but would like to know what others are doing to trim door windows and the front window. My edges are rough and slightly sloppy with glue spillage, (about 1/16"). Had I been smart I would have rounded that edge prior to installing the windows. But that did not happen.

I don't have any pics, but what I did, on both the doors and rear windows is run a nice bead of black Sikalfex on the edge where it meats the acrylic. I did a nice tape line and used goof off to clean up some paint overspray. Ended up pretty nice. I need to go over them one more time. Also did the same on the rear window and used some brush on SEM black color coat to cover the edges of the windows visible under the headliner trim. Headliner isn't installed yet, but I think it'll come out pretty good.

For what it's worth, Goof Off has worked really well to clean up the windows and does not damage or haze. I then used the #3 & #2 Novus system to really polish the widows up.

I made my own overhead console, window trims and headliner backer. Obviously not my ideas, just my creation. I made the trim rings for the back windows by hot gluing 1/4" plastic tube about 2" inside the window hole. I then filled in with spray foam, cut then sanded it down to the shape I liked. Covered the foam with packing tape and glassed the trim part. I used 1/4" tubing so I could place the headliner material behind the window trims. If you are not using headliner this space can be much smaller. I am going to cover the trims with leather as well.

How about some light gauge rubber "P" section with the bulb nestled in the window recess and a narrow rubber edge inside?

Picture was taken during install. A little easier shot without two belts in the way.
If true, it's good to hear. I plan on flying my 10 from the right seat too. Being a helicopter guy and RV-8 driver, I prefer the control stick in my right hand and the throttle & other goodies in my left.
